There is nothing more likely to drive a person mad than…an obstinate, constitutional preference of the true to the agreeable.
William Hazlitt
First impressions are often the truest, as we find (not infrequently) to our cost, when we have been wheedled out of them by plausible professions or studied actions. A man’s look is the work of years; it is stamped on his countenance by the events of his whole life, nay, more, by the hand of nature, and it is not to be got rid of easily.
William Hazlitt

William James
There is no worse lie than a truth misunderstood by those who hear it.
William James
Of all the beautiful truths pertaining to the soul None is more gladdening or fruitful than to know You can regenerate and make yourself what you will.
William James
No one can earn a million dollars honestly.
William Jennings Bryan
No mask like open truth to cover lies,
As to go naked is the best disguise.
William Congreve
